The Adam Cole vs Pat McAfee Match Wasn't Rehearsed!?

This past week saw a match at Takeover that was great. 

The surprising part was that it involved a pre-show host by the name of Pat McAfee AND the fact that it wasn't rehearsed. 

At least, that's what it is reported. 

Earlier in the week, Wrestling Observer Radio and Dave Meltzer (from Cagesideseats) said that the reason why the bout wasn't rehearsed is that quote: 

"Just went in there and did it because they knew Pat was good and they know Adam is great."

Something really interesting to put out in the side, in an interview with ESPN, McAfee talked about how he perfectly nailed the Swanton during his bout with Adam Cole: 

"Jeff Hardy came to my studio a year ago to be a part of the show, he and Matt. And we actually did a Swanton Bomb contest onto a trampoline that we had built in the office, off of a ladder. 

And he gave me a high score, rave reviews. He taught me that. And that just seemed like the right thing to do at the time."

Samoa Joe Voices King Shark In Suicide Squad: Kill All The Justice League!?

So. DC Fandome happened and it was nothing but exciting announcements as a fan of all things comic book entertainment. 

One of those exciting announcements was Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill All The Justice League CGI trailer. 

In it, it had a familiar individual that voiced the sh*t talking, King Shark. 

That individual is current Monday Night RAW colour commentator, Samoa Joe. 

Joe himself confirmed it on Twitter. 

I will be definitely rubbing my hands like Birdman once the game comes out in 2022 on the next-gen consoles as well as PC. 

When's Jimmy Uso Coming Back?? 

One half of The Usos, Jimmy Uso has been out of in-ring action since April. 

It's been 4 months and we got an update regarding an-ring return for Uso. 

In an interview with Table Talk, Jimmy Uso pretty much said that he's eyeing for a January 2021 return.  

Keith Lee Is Getting New Theme Music!?

WWE NXT: Marzo 18, 2020 | WWE


From Fightful Select (Cagesideseats), The reason why Keith Lee got some generic stock music as his theme song is that WWE is trying to tell its superstars to stop using CFO$ produced songs. 

WWE owns 50% of CFO$'s music created for WWE. This WWE/CFO$ situation is worth its own separate article and I ain't going too long in this piece. 

Sticking to Keith Lee, a reliable site when it comes to the music side of WWE, Arenataping tweeted out saying that Lee will have new music with lyrics. 

All I can say is, I hope it's better than what they got. 

Paul Ellering On Going To Manage AOP Once Again. 

Paul Ellering | WWE


Paul Ellering recently spoke with the Two Man Power Trip Podcast. 

In that discussion, the WWE Hall of Famer brought up the story of how he was about to manage AOP again (from WrestlingInc): 

"The idea was to bring me back in, but then this corona stuff came up," Ellering said earlier this month. "Then the guys got hurt and they were out a while, so everything got put on the back shelf and I don't know where it sits now."

That would've been straight flames. 


What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

The 5 News Week: Is Rey Mysterio RETIRING!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  The IIconics SUPPOSED to APPEAR at The Women's Royal Rumble!?  Admittedly, this piece of news is a week and a half old but you may think it isn't all that bad.  Well, because of how the wrestling news cycle moves faster than an MCU Disney Plus show, this story might as well be 5,000 years old.  From Fightful Selectrinos , the current Impact knockouts tag team champions were offered to be part of this year's stinker that was the Royal Rumble show, more specifically the women's Royal Rumble match but they refused.  Mustafa Ali Has A YEAR LEFT In His CONTRACT!?  My man Mustafa Ali be begging for his WWE release like Oliver Twist (can't blame the guy, I guess).  And kinda bad news I guess for the talented ...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...
